I used Nik Silver Efex Pro to make the conversion. Shot on an overcast morning.

Love the graphic elements that make this such a strong subject for B&W, Denise. Neat leading lines from the clouds to bring us out to the end of the pier. Great energy from the waves and surf.
These images of the remains of structures always make me wonder about their past life.

This has a strong old look to it...the framing , effects and composition all come together in a pleasing image...TFS

Love those reflections Denise. I feel the overcast sky really adds to the feel and mood with the B&W conversion.

Thanks folks, I appreciate the comments.

Nice image and application, Denise.

Only comment, if it were mine I would try a different depth of field. I might have focused on the front group of pilings and let the BG go. But as someone once said ... Y. I. Y. V. I do like as is though...

Hi Denise, all of your photos of this pier are lovely. This one turned out very well too..I love the pano crop

[Brendan Dozier]

Very nicely composed image, Denise, and B&W works well. Like the simplicity and reflection is nice touch.

[Julie Kenward]

Denise, the clouds and their reflections add so much to this...really a lovely b&w conversion!

Denise, I love this composition... the layers of sky, surf and fg beach with reflection of the pier makes this a standout for me. The muted colors with overcast sky sets the mood. Excellent processing. TFS.
